Kayla and Mike have been photographing our family for years! We are grateful for every session with them, their attention to detail is impeccable. Every session through the years has given us timeless photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot say enough great things about The Lang Co, they will continue to be our go-to photographers for years to come. Mike and Kayla are prompt, talented, and always make us feel at home, we are incredibly grateful for them!
real life documented in your real space
Whatever works best for you
Sessions on location
Studio shoots are STUNNING and beautiful, and we love them. However, we've always been passionate about documenting this new stage of life in the place where your life actually happens - and we're even more fired up about it after bringing our own babe home this year.
We'll come hang out with you for a few hours (as long as it takes - truly!) and document you exactly as you are. Of course you can make your house look like a model home, or do a full face of makeup and curl your hair, but you can also wear pajamas and a claw clip. Show up however feels most authentic to you.

the good mood guarantee
We'll wait all day. For real.
it's all good
The thing that we're MOST excited to offer? A Good Mood Guarantee. If you book a full shoot with a little one under the age of 1, we won't accept any other sessions on that day. That means that we won't even set a time - we'll come whenever your sweet baby is up for it. We get it - you can schedule something for one time, and then your baby that usually wakes up 2 times a night instead woke up what felt like 192313 times and now your schedule for the whole day is shot and when we're supposed to shoot will now be witching hour. Totally not speaking from experience here or anything.
We'll post up at a coffee shop (or a mall, let's be honest) and wait around until you text us that's go time, then we'll come over. And no worries if/when you need to take breaks to snuggle, feed, or sleep - been there! We'll capture those in between moments too.
For mini sessions, we'll actively shoot for 30 minutes, but give you a 1 hr chunk of time to allow an extra 30 minutes for changing diapers, feedings, etc. You can still pick that hour window on the day of, but it must take place at least 2.5 hours before sunset.
